Beautiful Colours Everywhere: Dan Snaith of Caribou's Favourite LPs

On Facebook at the moment, you might have seen folk nominating their friends to list their top ten favourite albums. They often make for interesting reading, as you can generally spot those who have done exactly that - listed their favourite albums without pretence - with those who have used as it as an exercise in showing off eclectic tastes; the more obscure the better.

"I wanted to put more obscure records on here, some of the rarer things I've got," confesses Dan Snaith aka Caribou, maths boffin and musical genius; teetotaller and Canuck settled in London. "But then I thought, I shouldn't really just put something on here to show off that I've got it."
